الأنعام Al-An'am

6:1

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ وَٱلنُّورَ ۖ ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ ۝١

Alhamdu lillahi allatheekhalaqa assamawati wal-ardawajaAAala aththulumati wannoorathumma allatheena kafaroo birabbihim yaAAdiloon

Praise be to Allāh, Who created the heavens and the earth and brought to existence the darkness and the light, yet those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord!S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

All praise belongs to Allah who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Yet the faithless equate [others] with their Lord.Ali Quli Qarai

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Then those who disbelieve equate [others] with their Lord.Saheeh International

6:2

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍۢ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰٓ أَجَلًۭا ۖ وَأَجَلٌۭ مُّسَمًّى عِندَهُۥ ۖ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ ۝٢

Huwa allathee khalaqakum min teeninthumma qada ajalan waajalun musamman AAindahu thumma antumtamtaroon

In this verse, Allāh has rejected the views of three groups: (1) By saying that “He created the heavens and the earth,” He has rejected the claim of those atheists who believe that the universe has existed from ever. (2) By saying that “He brought to existence the darkness and the light,” He has rejected the claim of the Dualists (like the Parsees) who believe that the Creator of light is different from the Creator of darkness. (3) And in the final sentence, Allāh rejects the Arabian idolaters who believed their idols to be equal to Allāh. It is He who has created you of clay, and then He decreed a term of life for you; of course, the final term of your life is with Him; yet you doubt in His existence. How can you doubt Him?!S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

It is He who created you from clay, then ordained the term [of your life]—the specified term is with Him—and yet you are in doubt.Ali Quli Qarai

It is He who created you from clay and then decreed a term and a specified time [known] to Him; then [still] you are in dispute.Saheeh International

6:3

وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ ۝٣

Wahuwa Allahu fee assamawatiwafee al-ardi yaAAlamu sirrakum wajahrakum wayaAAlamu mataksiboon

He is Allāh in the heaven and the earth; He knows your secrets and your apparent words, and He also knows what you are earning by your good or evil deeds.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

He is Allah in the heavens and on the earth: He knows your secret and your overt [matters], and He knows what you earn.Ali Quli Qarai

And He is Allāh, [the only deity] in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secret and what you make public, and He knows that which you earn.Saheeh International

6:4

وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ مِّنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ۝٤

Wama ta/teehim min ayatin min ayatirabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideen

Whenever a sign from the signs of your Lord comes to them (i.e., the unbelievers of Mecca), they just turn away from it.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

There did not come to them any sign from among the signs of their Lord, but that they used to disregard it.Ali Quli Qarai

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝٥

Faqad kaththaboo bilhaqqilamma jaahum fasawfa ya/teehim anbao makanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

﴿They rejected the truth when it came to them through Muḥammad, but soon there shall come to them the news of the day of judgement which they were mocking.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

They have certainly denied the truth when it came to them, but soon there will come to them the news of what they have been deriding.Ali Quli Qarai

For they had denied the truth when it came to them, but there is going to reach them the news of what they used to ridicule.Saheeh International

6:6

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍۢ مَّكَّنَّٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارًۭا وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرَ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنشَأْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا ءَاخَرِينَ ۝٦

Have not they considered how We destroyed before them a generation whom We had strengthened on the earth (with worldly power) as We never strengthen­ed you? Have not they considered how We sent the clouds pouring rain over them copiously, and We made the rivers flow beneath them? Then We destroyed them because of their sins, and thereafter We raised another generation.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Have they not regarded how many a generation We have destroyed before them whom We had granted power in the land in respects that We did not grant you, and We sent abundant rains for them from the sky and made streams run for them? Then We destroyed them for their sins, and brought forth another generation after them.Ali Quli Qarai

Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which We had established upon the earth as We have not established you? And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then We destroyed them for their sins and brought forth after them a generation of others.Saheeh International

6:7

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَٰبًۭا فِى قِرْطَاسٍۢ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝٧

Walaw nazzalna AAalayka kitabanfee qirtasin falamasoohu bi-aydeehim laqala allatheenakafaroo in hatha illa sihrun mubeen

Even if We had sent to you, O Muḥammad, a writing on paper so that they may touch it with their hands, those who disbelieve would surely have said, “This is nothing but a manifest sorcery.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Had We sent down to you a Book on paper so they could touch it with their [own] hands, [still] the faithless would have said, ‘This is nothing but plain magic.’Ali Quli Qarai

6:8

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌۭ ۖ وَلَوْ أَنزَلْنَا مَلَكًۭا لَّقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ثُمَّ لَا يُنظَرُونَ ۝٨

Waqaloo lawla onzila AAalayhimalakun walaw anzalna malakan laqudiya al-amruthumma la yuntharoon

The unbelievers say: “Why has not an angel been sent down to him? Only then we would believe in him.” Firstly, if We had sent down an angel, they still would not have believed, and so the matter would have been certainly decided against them, and then they shall not be given respite.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

They say, ‘Why has not an angel been sent down to him?’ Were We to send down an angel, the matter would surely be decided, and then they would not be granted any respite.Ali Quli Qarai

And they say, "Why was there not sent down to him an angel?" But if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have been decided; then they would not be reprieved.Saheeh International

6:9

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَٰهُ مَلَكًۭا لَّجَعَلْنَٰهُ رَجُلًۭا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ ۝٩

Walaw jaAAalnahu malakan lajaAAalnahurajulan walalabasna AAalayhim ma yalbisoon

Secondly, if We had appointed him (i.e., Our messenger) an angel, We would certainly have made him a man because the angel, in his original angelic form, cannot be seen by humans; and thus, We would have confused to them the matter in which they are themselves confusing.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Had We made him an angel, We would have surely made him a man, and We would have surely confounded them just as they confound [the truth now].Ali Quli Qarai

And if We had made him [i.e., the messenger] an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves [i.e., confusion and doubt].Saheeh International

6:10

وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝١٠

Walaqadi istuhzi-a birusulin min qablika fahaqabillatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoobihi yastahzi-oon

Sending or not sending an angel will not change their obstinate attitude towards you. O Muḥammad! Do not be grieved by their mockery as many messengers were indeed mocked at before you, but those who scoffed at them were encompassed by what they mocked at.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Apostles were certainly derided before you. Then those who ridiculed them were besieged by what they used to deride.Ali Quli Qarai

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule.Saheeh International

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١١

Man yusraf AAanhu yawma-ithinfaqad rahimahu wathalika alfawzu almubeen

The person from whom the chastisement is averted on that grievous day, he should realize that Allāh has been merciful to him—being included in the mercy of Allāh is indeed a manifest achievement. That is, without the mercy of Allāh, no fallible human being can avert the chastisement of the hereafter on account of his deeds alone.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Whoever is spared of it on that day, He has certainly been merciful to him, and that is manifest success.Ali Quli Qarai

There are some stubborn unbelievers who listen to you when you recite the Qur’ān, and We have cast veils over their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it—this is their punishment because even if they see every sign, they do not believe in it.

And if their turning away from the truth is too distressing for you, then if you can seek out a hole to go down into the earth or a ladder to ascend to heaven, so as to bring them a sign, then do so.

Then the following verses were revealed. And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening desiring His favour. Nothing of their account falls upon you, and nothing of your account falls upon them. So, if you drive them away, you will become one of the unjust.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Do not drive away those who supplicate their Lord morning and evening desiring His face. Neither are you accountable for them in any way, nor are they accountable for you in any way, so that you may drive them away and thus become one of the wrongdoers.Ali Quli Qarai

And do not send away those who call upon their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His face [i.e., favor]. Not upon you is anything of their account and not upon them is anything of your account. So were you to send them away, you would [then] be of the wrongdoers.Saheeh International

In this way, We try some of them by others. Because of their spiritual status, Allāh elevated the position of the poor; and thus, He tries those rich people who lack righteousness and who say, “Are these poor people the ones upon whom Allāh has been gracious to among us?” Does not Allāh know very well the grateful servants?S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Thus do We test them by means of one another so that they should say, ‘Are these the ones whom Allah has favoured from among us?!’ Does not Allah know best the grateful?!Ali Quli Qarai

And thus We have tried some of them through others that they [i.e., the disbelievers] might say, "Is it these whom Allāh has favored among us?" Is not Allāh most knowing of those who are grateful?Saheeh International

The people of Ibrāhīm’s time used to worship idols, stars, the moon, the sun, kings, etc. In the following verses, Allāh narrates how Ibrāhīm tried his best to demonstrate the falsity of idol- and nature-worshipping in all its various forms. Remember when Ibrāhīm came from the seclusion of his cave and saw people worshipping false gods. He was surprised, so he said to his uncle, Āzar, “Do you take idols for gods?! Surely I see you and your people in manifest error.” Ibrāhīm could not tolerate idol-worshipping because he knew it was wrong.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

When Abraham said to Azar, his father, ‘Do you take idols for gods? Indeed I see you and your people in manifest error.’Ali Quli Qarai

‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘d bin Abi Saraḥ came from Mecca to Medina and accepted Islam. As he was a good scribe, the Pro­phet included him among those who used to write the revela­tion revealed to the Prophet. Traditions say that he was a hypocrite, and he used to change the words which the Pro­phet dictated to him. After some time, he apostatized and went back to Mecca. In Mecca, he started to say ridiculous things about the Prophet. (In 9 AH, when Mecca fell in the hands of the Prophet, the Prophet had named some people who were to be killed even if they were found inside the Ka‘bah. ‘Abdullāh bin Abi Saraḥ was one of them. But later, ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān interceded on his behalf and saved him.) The following verses are about him and his ilk: Who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allāh or says, “It has been revealed to me,” while nothing had been revealed to him; and also says, “I will reveal the like of what Allāh has revealed.” If you could see when the unjust shall be in the agonies of death, while the angels of death are stretching their hands towards them and saying, “Give up your souls! Today you shall be recompensed with the chastisement of humiliation because of what you said falsely about Allāh and because you were displaying arrogance against His revelations.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Who is a greater wrongdoer than him who fabricates a lie against Allah, or says, ‘It has been revealed to me,’ while nothing was revealed to him, and he who says, ‘I will bring the like of what Allah has sent down?’ Were you to see when the wrongdoers are in the throes of death, and the angels extend their hands [saying]: ‘Give up your souls! Today you shall be requited with a humiliating punishment because of what you used to attribute to Allah untruly, and for your being disdainful towards His signs.’Ali Quli Qarai

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allāh revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allāh other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."Saheeh International
